An animal rights organization rescued 1,000 chickens from mass euthanization at a farm in Iowa. The economic slowdown and health risks caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has caused farms across the US to euthanize millions of innocent animals, but thanks to efforts like this ForceChange petition, activists are working hard to combat this heartbreaking practice.

While these 1,000 chickens are only a minuscule portion of the animals still in danger of euthanization, this effort marks a victory for the animal rights movement and will bring attention and motivation to the cause. Sign below to thank Animal Place for saving the lives of these helpless creatures.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Ms. Sturla,

Mahatma Gandhi once said that the greatness of a nation could be judged by the way its animals are treated; if this is so, the mass euthanizations of farm animals happening across our country are a sobering reflection. The profit-driven cruelty that defines our modern agricultural system has been driven to nightmarish extremes by the COVID-19 outbreak.

Fortunately, organizations like yours are stepping up to fight this cruelty. By saving 1,000 chickens from euthanization at an Iowa egg farm, you made a bold victory for animal rights and provided exposure and inspiration for the fight against this inhumane procedure. Thank you for saving the lives of these innocent animals.
